#3853 GDA Limoges Hand Painted Bowl

Beautiful hand painted bowl from Gerard, Dufraisseix & Abbot who formed that partnership c.1900 and apparently used this mark c.1900-1941 (Source:  Gaston's Limoges Third Edition, page 152).  Signed Vouga who was most likely an American china painter.  Gorgeous colors, lucious grapes.  Body of bowl and rim edge are scalloped in design and outlined in gold.  Notice the shell design in the valley of each scallop around the rim edge.  10 1/2" diameter x 2 3/8" tall.  Excellent condition.

SOLD#2746 Bavarian Mayonnaise DishSOLD

Hand Painted.  Outside of bowl is a pretty pearlized or lustreware finish.  Too pretty to use.  It is unfortunately NOT PERFECT.  Close examination under a good light and magnifier revealed a very fine hairline crack on one side across the flowers beginning at the top.  The name on the back, Anna E. Pierce, was the artist.  This fact was confirmed by a phone call I received from a nice gentlemen, Jack Stoltz in Florida, regarding this bowl that was hand painted and signed by Anna E. Pierce.  Jack is originally from Wisconsin and owns a complete set of dishes that exactly match this piece.  All of Jack's set but one are signed by Anna E. Pierce or Adele Pierce.  The set has been in Jack's family for over 100 years.  A pair of sisters, Anna E. Pierce ( ? ) and Adele Pierce (10/18/1883 - 12/30/69) owned a shop in Wisconsin.  They purchased Bavarian and Limoges blanks, hand painted them, and sold them in their shop.  Adele left Wisconsin in 1916.  Jack's family purchased their set from the sisters sometime prior to 1916 when Adele left.  An interesting mystery is that the one unsigned piece in Jack's set is exactly like this one shown below that I found at a Dallas estate sale with a hairline crack.  We speculate that Jack's unsigned piece was a replacement for this one with the hairline.  This hairline piece must have been given away and then somehow eventually made its way to Texas where we purchased it from a high-end Dallas estate sale.  We'll never know the whole story of the travels of this beautiful hand painted piece.  May this documentation serve as a testament to the sisters Anna E. Pierce and Adele Pierce.  "Thank you Anna and Adele, for your beautiful work."

2 1/4" tall x 4 1/ 2" wide x  6" across from outer tips of spout and handle.

#2570 Limoges Old Dish

Unmarked, but we believe it to be Limoges and believe it to be quite old.  Notice the beautiful scalloped rim and the delicate flowers.  Only traces of gold left on edge of rim which is the best indication of age.  It also had a teeny chip on one corner of rim which has been professionally repaired.
